I hate to think that another piece of jewelry was broken up for this ring! But I have to wonder how far back this sapphire goes in the Danish royal family. Queen Alexandrine perhaps?

It's often difficult to track the "route" - if you like - of royal jewellery!
Sometimes we don't get the name of the giver, because it's considered confidential, and as for older jewellery we don't always get the whole provenance of a particular piece. In either case the royals deem that it is none of our business!

I've tried but cannot trace the sapphire in the DRF! Princess Anne- Marie got a few pieces of jewellery before she left Denmark for Greece in 1964, in which case it could be from the Alexandrine cache. However don't forget, that she received jewellery from her mother later in life and that she got her fair share after Queen Ingrid died in year 2000.
As I remember it Queen Ingrid was rather a ruby than a sapphire person, but it is very likely that she had a couple of left over stones at the bottom of her jewellery box .

I highly doubt they would have a winter wedding since Princess Madaliene of Sweden is getting married in the winter of 2010/2011. I would guess there is alot of checking the royal calenders to make sure the most number of royal guests can attend. If I remember correctly, Pavlos and Marie Chantal chose their wedding date so Queen Elizabeth II could attend.

I read today in a Greek magazine ( Down Town) that they said they plan to have a wedding after the summer in the Greek countryside " with very few guests, just family members and a few selected friends". If that's true I doubt they need to choose a date that will suit the other royals ( expect for the Danish and Spanish royals of course).

There's a spread on Tatiana in Hello magazine. It was a question and answer type of interview. In answer to what she does for DVW, she said she organizes events, handles the press and travels with Diane. There were a few very nice pictures.
